The NHS Finance team help DHSC to achieve Value for Money from the system in the implementation of its strategic objectives as set out in the NHS Mandate and government priorities. We add value throughout the policy design and implementation cycle by providing financial support and advice to DHSC policy teams and NHS England - acting as a solution-focused ‘critical friend’. Our role is to provide robust challenge of policy design and efficiency options so that policy is successfully delivered with the most appropriate financial package and is aligned to strong financial management principles.
Alongside this we advise on strategic planning and risk management and play a role in ensuring there is assurance over reporting of the financial position of the system to Parliament - ensuring finance is at the heart of decision making to support delivery of strategic policy at the best possible value to the taxpayer.
The successful candidate will be joining an inclusive and supportive team comprising a mix of finance and policy professionals with ample opportunities to learn and develop a range of skills. We welcome applications from candidates who can demonstrate they have the requisite transferable skills to meet the key criteria, whether from a finance background or wider fields. We’ve attracted high quality policy professionals and those from other disciplines to this role previously, who have thrived in the role.
It offers the opportunity to gain and hone skills and experience of financial decision-making and control in the context of areas with the highest strategic impact and priority for Government and the public. You will be supported to develop these skills, and they can be transferred to a range of future roles, including policy, strategy, and other disciplines.
We are looking for a motivated SEO, who is looking for a challenging role that will offer the opportunity to shape the department’s productivity agenda. We work across a full range of stakeholders, as well as teams from across the department and government including HM Treasury. We are an agile team providing finance policy support across a range of complex policy and strategy areas, including manifesto commitments, workforce, system financial architecture, elective and system recovery, mental health, NHS services including primary care and medicines policy.
The role will be playing an important part in coordinating the department’s response to the cross-Government productivity challenge, including the NHS, Adult Social Care and Public Health.
The oversight and co-ordination of the department’s productivity agenda is through the Departmental Productivity Board. This will involve development and delivery assurance of plans across health and social care, including the ambition to deliver 1.9% productivity growth in the NHS as set out at Spring Budget. This will be a key input into the next Spending Review with close working with our Strategic Finance team.
There are a broad range of exciting and challenging workstreams to which this role can help deliver, including:
- Supporting the delivery of a new Ministerial Board.
- Developing metrics and reporting of progress against commitments.
- Contributing to the development of incentives to deliver productivity improvement.
- Supporting progress tracking of delivery of the NHS productivity plan.
- Developing and maintaining effective programme management for the Spending Review work relating to productivity across the department.
We are looking for a motivated proactive person who is excited by the opportunity to take ownership of an area of work and work with an existing team of three Grade 7s, an SEO and a Fast Streamer.
The role involves a high degree of stakeholder engagement and influencing and requiring developed strategic awareness across DHSC, ALBs and HMT. It is an excellent opportunity for a policy professional to develop a good understanding of government finance, or for a finance professional to build their understanding of strategic finance issues, with strong links to the team preparing for the next Spending Review.
